Obeah in Jamaica

I am pretty sure that some (if not most) of the longtime visitors to Negril have local friends/acquaintances who periodically meet with an obeahman or obeahwoman for various reasons. I know several older Jamaicans who have told me of their experiences with obeah - including some successful encounters and some not so successful encounters.

Here is an interesting article in todays Gleaner about underground tourism in Obeah.

It is all about "mind control"...those who "believe" can be controlled, ALTHOUGH, I did some research on "zombies" once & found that they are "created" by using some natural poisons, purely a physical thing, which renders them "helpless" to the bidding of their "creator"....intersting, no?
